This song makes me remember....when things were good, and better and simple. I was young, in my early 20's, my first apartment....Reminds me of a lot of firsts....
Still can't believe that you have left us Phoebe. The more I think about it the more I know why. You were missing your dear Valerie Rose and are probably there with her being a caring mommy again. I bet she was suprised and happy to see her mommy again. I'm sad but I am at peace with it now. Still very upset about it though.
I remember when I was young I really disliked this song - I was just too young to understand it. When I hear it now, I'm stunned - the harp, the rhythm guitar, and Phoebe's voice weaving all through the beautiful sounds. This is a brilliant song.
eddie bucher....if by some chance you are out there, looking at this at the same time i am, you made this song really special for me....thanks for that. it was on jodeo drive. you were pretty cool.
This song makes you feel like you're stoned, laughing with friends on a beautiful, cozy sunny morning with not a worry in the world, even if you're just ending a frustrating day, stuck in five o clock traffic.
phoebe knew she waz not a preety girl. as peeople saw as 2 b but no woman could sing like her becausse when ashe dide not try 2 be like most women, trying 2 be preety. she sang and became a godsess with her fine voice.. ok maybe 24 yearsa go but i thinki she still makes people feel fine.... i love p snow
@guido1365 I wish you could see a picture of her in her younger days. I don't know where that picture came from, but she is very beautiful. I think her weight just took away from her attractiveness.
this song always calms me . I remember when it came out I was ten enjoyed it then and I enjoy it now, Very soulful and it still touches my soul and gives me chills of a real singer!
This is great, of course, but I just listened to her version of Gershwin's, "There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon For New York", here on Youtube!! The control, twists and turns, subtlties, phrasing, shapes and ease with which she seemingly does things with her voice are incredible!! Phoebe should easily be regarded as a vocalist among the best in American history!
@MrDeaddaddy1 Only those with a lack of great musical taste would dislike it. Its fans like us, that will keep such great musical talent like this alive and its soul will live on forever. R.I.P Phoebe, forever dearly missed and will never ever be forgotten.
@MrDeaddaddy1 Uh, because everyone's musical taste is different? Not saying I would agree with them about "Poetry Man," but everyone's entitled to their opinion in matters of art, music, literature, etc. Personally I think most of the music of Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow is terrible, but they have millions of adoring fans who swear by them. And by the way, in this case there are 1,209 likes to only 5 dislikes, nothing to get hot and bothered about.
@butchchase Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black. Just kidding. :-D
*Serious Answer: All over the place really. I have almost 2,000 different songs in my iTunes library. I mean, I like Iron Maiden, Bob Marley, and Jimmy Buffett a lot, just to show you how varied lol. I guess it just bothers me a little when someone implies no one has a right to dislike a song. I don't mind "Poetry Man," though my favorite Phoebe Snow song is actually "Two-Fisted Love." Hope that helps.
@danning1 all praises to Justin BEAVER! mwahahaha...but i guess fans of some music (esp on this network) well, really dislike people disliking their preference/s
This will always be on my 2nd record album, called "Sound Explosion" by Ronco, a label kind of like K-Tel. I was so young in 1975; that's when my Grandma was still alive. God bless Phoebe Snow!
The last note of POETRY MAN is "so beautiful" I remember seeing phoebe Snow in the audience of a Laura Nyro concert, and she was as blown away as the rest of us over Laura's performance, Not only could she (snow) sing but she had great taste in music (Laura Nyro). May they both be harmonizing in the heavenly choir too many go to, too soon.
She sings like a bird in an early morning forest alone except for the breeze of the pink and orange sunrise and dew-drenched flowers. The music of the guitar sounds so happy, but at the end of the song there is sadness. Except for the hope she will see poetry man tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow............
I was a teenager when this song came out and I loved it right away. People often think of the seventies as the era of disco, funk, and album-rock. They think of loud clothes, loud people, big hair and big flares. But the seventies had subtlety and refinement too. This song and this artist are an example of that. This song is not a ballad or a slow-drag song; it was made simply to be listen to. I miss music that is made for no other reason than to be listened to. Thank you Phoebe.
@tonycozart - Yes, when people mention the 70's I don't think of disco- it was more music like this really, until the end of 77/78 when disco started.
@tonycozart - Actually though, there was a good amount of soft soul/funk that was pleasant listening through the 70's, and as far as the big hair- the afro was very popular, but way before the later disco time.
@astralartist4 In my city (Baltimore) afro's started coming down in or around 1975/76. Disco was already in. Disco reached it's height around "77-78" As far as soft soul/funk; you're right. There was Kool n the Gangs's "Summer Madness," Peobo Bryson's ballads, LTD's "Concentrate On You," and other nice offerings. Artist in that day would often try different sounds. But for really fine listening- Phoebe Snow, Grover Washington, Angela Bofill, Phylis Hyman, Lonnie Liston-Smith. Deodato, et
What a great singer. Phoebe was a Saint. She cared for her handicapped daughter at her own house, until her daugter died of natural causes at age 31. The great people who care for the less fortunate, as Phoebe did, I know are in Gods good graces.
My son's school is doing a play about a poet...he said he neede a song for the lead dancer to dance to....I suggested this. would be beautiful with streamers. She was so much more than Hillshire Farms.
I remember how I related to the line about the mirror and it's changing image...it still takes me back to my teenage angt.
Whenever I hear this song, I adjust the words slightly in tribute to the love of my life; a married woman. "...So once again, it's time to say so long and so recall the role of life. La, la, la ,la. You're going home now. Home's that place somewhere you go each day to be a wife...be a wife."
Such a unique and lovely voice. A song that is jazzy and a bringer of peace and calm. Sad that she has passed, but thankful for her music. Bless you and your daughter!!
4:40 minutes of bliss, one of my all time fav. songs...if tavares didn't write that song--heaven must be missing an angel for phoebe than you could have fooled me..
p.s. P.S. love ya, thanks for giving us a little peace on earth..timeless
This was a shock and a true heartbreak for me. This album one of the best I've ever owned. It fits a spot that no other could. What a shame. She had a voice and a talent that no one will ever be able to duplicate.
I could think of many words to tell of how I feel about this Woman, but it would not hardly do justice to how she told me of things! Things of life...things of Love...things of Me! How could she when she didn't even know me? God's peace Phoebe!
Tear's hit my face and soul no differently than they did the first time my ears processed this beautiful music and new approach to Poetry. I am so sorry for the Family and their loss of absolute perfection. Have to go and wipe my mind and face in the sadness and joy of sharing many times in life with you! People used to say I sang like you, and even looked like you...my response was "If my life were touched by Angel's"
The first time I heard her sing this was on the radio, (remember those?) I was driving and had to pullover to listen. It only happened one other time in my life. I was driving and the radio dj played Jimmy Mack by Laura Nyro!! Both times I was so moved I could'nt do anything but pullover and listen... Thanks for posting it.
She sounded like no one else. She could sing two words and you knew who the voice came from. Her talent deserved world wide recognition. A very sad loss. God bless Phoebe Snow. R.I.P.
This song is a very fond memory from my childhood--my mother had this song on repeat all the time. She was one of my Grandmother's favorite singers. May GOD bless her soul. ♥
There was something different about her voice and vocal inflections that moved me. And I also had a Poetry Man of my own at the time her song came out. Thank you, Phoebe.

I agree fenderbender92. For me that time was my whole life in front of me. I was a real romantic too so the music and the words of this song really appealed to me. very unusual and pretty with great music and lyrics. I had just fallen in love (my first).
Phoebe, you will be sadly missed. Not only by family members, but the rest of your family that you have built over the years. We all love you and your soulful voice so much, that we have become part of your family as well. You did good in life girl-creating such sublime music for the ears and putting a freeze on it , when it came to your child and their health. God Bless You!
@bangitslo Unfortunately, some people, while they are few, are ruled by hate and ugly-ness; take comfort in the fact that most people appreciate beauty, like this wonderful song by the late, great Phoebe Snow...
@bangitslo because ppl don't appreciate shit until it (or someone)is gone we ain't shit as ppl unfortunaley everybody has there day so until that day spread love and be nice peace!
Then you don't know who Phoebe Snow is!!! This the song that put her on the map honey !She went on to record 15 albums all except one which is called Rock Away is on C.D.She was a Sultry Sassy Musical Genius and I knew her personally she was a friend of mine that I will miss for the rest of my life..Barbara...
this is my frist time hearing this amazing voice, and my reaction to this song is a mixture of love and deep sorrow. sorrow for the passing of such a voice, and sorrow for my generation who's music does not have the same soul. but love for a woman who faced life's hardship with such caress. R.I.P
I must offer my condolences to Ms.Snow's family for her recent passing . . . . She was and is a part of my love of music . R.I.P. soulsister , you are gone but will never be forgotten . . . .
God i love this song. It brings me right back to the spring of 1975 in college in Albany, NY. beautiful and so unique. haven't heard anything quite like this since. You touched my soul Phoebe and although you are gone from here now you will never really be gone in our minds!
@Jimbo8137 Her song evokes memory of college, and yet I am only going unto my second year. Isn't amazing how two people with capacious years between them have at once one song that can allude to memory? Phoebe Snow is an artist I doubtless think will have the same effect on later generations. The kind that lives forever.
Very sorry to hear of her recent passing- rest in peace, Phoebe! A beautiful & carring lady- she personally cared for her brain-damaged daughter for years till she passed away. Great memories of the '70's everytime I hear this beautiful song. It's ironic that she moved away from easy-listening music to more jazz-pop flavors(and even gospel) latter on.
Such a beautiful song from beautiful person, may you and your daughter find peace on the otherside together forever , we will always remember your voice, like an angel...
Thank you, Phoebe Snow - you were my BFF in Portland, Maine, 1974 when I had - NO ONE - but - YOU....What a TRUE BLESSING you were... Hope to meet you in Heaven!!
Get a high quality version of this and listen on headphones. It's truly an amazing performance and recording. Check out the reverb on the vocals in particular.
I would venture that there is nothing like it being produced today because the business and the devices have changed so much. eg. who is actually going to hire a pro harp player just to add texture to a acoustic guitar song?
Now I just have to find the vinyl and really hear it. RIP Poetry Woman.
@pdxktv I completely agree! I am listening to it on my shure in-ear monitors, and that reverb on the vocals is unreal! The performance is what is really special though, its simply perfect on a techincal level, and an emotional level. It's so emotional, it's really beautiful. Its an amazing arrangement. The harp is panned and mixed perfectly, and the hand percussion is just stellar! This is one of the most well thought out arrangements I can ever remember hearing.
Something about this song...not many songs evoke such a strong sense of time and place for me, but this one will always be High School, Fall of 1975..lotsa football and keggers afterward...lol..R I P Phoebe.
Is it just me or is it really sucking that all the great talents are dying off leaving us with no one to fill their shoes. Atleast they will live on forever through the treasured music they have graced us with. RIP Ms. Snow. May your daughter and you fly in heaven together and may you grace God with your wonderful voice.
Your voice will now fill heaven with the same sweet sounds that we have enjoyed on earth all these years. Thank you & God Bless, you will be missed by all of us who continue to enjoy your music. ~sjhgm1~

The first time I heard her sing this was on the radio, (remember those?) I was driving and had to pullover to listen. It only happened one other time in my life. I was driving and the radio dj played Jimmy Mack by Laura Nyro!! Both times I was so moved I could'nt do anything but pullover and listen... Thanks for posting it.

She sounded like no one else. She could sing two words and you knew who the voice came from. Her talent deserved world wide recognition. A very sad loss. God bless Phoebe Snow. R.I.P.

This song is a very fond memory from my childhood--my mother had this song on repeat all the time. She was one of my Grandmother's favorite singers. May GOD bless her soul. ♥

There was something different about her voice and vocal inflections that moved me. And I also had a Poetry Man of my own at the time her song came out. Thank you, Phoebe.

I agree fenderbender92. For me that time was my whole life in front of me. I was a real romantic too so the music and the words of this song really appealed to me. very unusual and pretty with great music and lyrics. I had just fallen in love (my first).

Phoebe, you will be sadly missed. Not only by family members, but the rest of your family that you have built over the years. We all love you and your soulful voice so much, that we have become part of your family as well. You did good in life girl-creating such sublime music for the ears and putting a freeze on it , when it came to your child and their health. God Bless You!

this is my frist time hearing this amazing voice, and my reaction to this song is a mixture of love and deep sorrow. sorrow for the passing of such a voice, and sorrow for my generation who's music does not have the same soul. but love for a woman who faced life's hardship with such caress. R.I.P

God i love this song. It brings me right back to the spring of 1975 in college in Albany, NY. beautiful and so unique. haven't heard anything quite like this since. You touched my soul Phoebe and although you are gone from here now you will never really be gone in our minds!
Jimbo8137 9 months ago
@Jimbo8137 Her song evokes memory of college, and yet I am only going unto my second year. Isn't amazing how two people with capacious years between them have at once one song that can allude to memory? Phoebe Snow is an artist I doubtless think will have the same effect on later generations. The kind that lives forever.

Very sorry to hear of her recent passing- rest in peace, Phoebe! A beautiful & carring lady- she personally cared for her brain-damaged daughter for years till she passed away. Great memories of the '70's everytime I hear this beautiful song. It's ironic that she moved away from easy-listening music to more jazz-pop flavors(and even gospel) latter on.

Get a high quality version of this and listen on headphones. It's truly an amazing performance and recording. Check out the reverb on the vocals in particular.
I would venture that there is nothing like it being produced today because the business and the devices have changed so much. eg. who is actually going to hire a pro harp player just to add texture to a acoustic guitar song?
Now I just have to find the vinyl and really hear it. RIP Poetry Woman.

@pdxktv well said.

@pdxktv I completely agree! I am listening to it on my shure in-ear monitors, and that reverb on the vocals is unreal! The performance is what is really special though, its simply perfect on a techincal level, and an emotional level. It's so emotional, it's really beautiful. Its an amazing arrangement. The harp is panned and mixed perfectly, and the hand percussion is just stellar! This is one of the most well thought out arrangements I can ever remember hearing.
